In-N-Out Burger submits proposal for Lone Tree location

The coming of the famous California eatery has been long anticipated by Coloradans

In-N-Out has submitted a proposal to the City of Lone Tree for development of a new restaurant in the Park Meadows area, according to a site improvement plan shared by the city Aug. 15.

The famous burger joint headquartered in Irvine, California, has locations throughout California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and Utah. There are currently none in Colorado. Colorado Springs will be home to the state's first In-N-Out in 2020. The Lone Tree location would be the first in the Denver metro area.

The City of Lone Tree provided a statement on the state of the proposal:

"The City of Lone Tree is excited about the potential of being one of the first In-N-Out Burger locations in Colorado. We pride ourselves in being a business-friendly municipality and always look forward to welcoming new businesses into our community. Plus, we know that In-N-Out Burger will be one that many people in our community, and beyond, will be thrilled to see."

The proposal is for a 3,867-square-foot building at 9171 Westview Road, the current location of a Suds Factory car wash, and includes drive-thru capabilities, a 26-car parking lot and outdoor seating area.

The site improvement plan must be approved by city staff before it goes before the planning commission and then city council for approval.

Construction is expected to take six months, if and when plans are approved by the city. The restaurant is expected to be open by January 2021, according to the SIP.

In-N-Out is a fast food restaurant specializing in burgers, fries and milkshakes. It will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., according to the SIP, with a staff of 15-20 associates per shift.
